All majordomo commands are sent to majordomo@yourdomain.com. It is also important to note that all commands are sent in the body of the message.
To configure a list, first retrieve the lists configuration file by sending an email to majordomo@yourdomain.com with the following in the body of the message:

config list-name list-password

where list-name is the name of your mailing list and list-password is the maintenance password you provided when you created the list.

If you are comfortable with shell access, you can configure your list configuration file directly. Change directories to your majordomo lists, and edit the list-name .config file using vi or pico:

bash$ cd /var/lib/majordomo/lists

bash$ vi list-name .config

or

bash$ pico list-name .config

Use your FTP client to connect to your site.

Change directories to /var/lib/majordomo/lists.

Change your FTP client to ASCII mode and download the file list-name.config, where list-name is the name of your mailing list.

Make the appropriate changes to the file. (It is highly recommended that you save a backup copy of the file prior to making any changes.)

Upload the file. Again, be sure to use ASCII mode so that newlines are translated correctly.


Configuring Majordomo Newsletters


You can configure a Majordomo mailing list to act as a one-way "newsletter" mailing. To do this, you need to change the restrict_post parameter for the list.

1. SSH to your account and create a file. For the purpose of this tutorial, assume it is /var/lib/majordomo/lists/my-list.allowed .
2. Edit the file so it contains the email address(es) of the users who are authorized to send newsletters. Email addresses can be separated by colons, spaces, or new lines.
3. Change the list configuration parameter restrict_post to /var/lib/majordomo/lists/my-list.allowed .
   For instructions on how to do this, see the first section of this tutorial.

Subscribing/Unsubscribing from Majordomo


You can subscribe and unsubscribe users to a mailing list by editing the mailing list through your Ensim control panel. See the Majordomo Mailing List Manager tutorial for more information.

All majordomo commands are sent to majordomo@yourdomain.com. It is also important to note that all commands are sent in the body of the message.
To subscribe, a user simply sends an email to majordomo@yourdomain.com with the following in the body of the message:

subscribe list-name

where list-name is the name of your mailing list. You can also use this interface to unsubscribe:

unsubscribe list-name

Create an html or php file with the following code in it:

<form method="post" action="list_command.php"> Your email address: <input type="text" name="email_addr"> <br/> <input type="radio" name="command" value="subscribe" checked> Subscribe <br/> <input type="radio" name="command" value="unsubscribe"> Unsubscribe <br/> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>

Now create a php file called list_command.php with the following code in it:

<?php $command = $_POST['command']; $email_addr = $_POST['email_addr']; $list_name = 'your-list'; $to_addr = 'Majordomo@yourdomain.com'; $body = $command . ' ' . $list_name; mail($to_addr, '', $body, "From: $email_addr"); echo 'Your request to ' . $command . ' to the list ' . $list_name . ' has been processed.'; ?>

Be sure to substitute the variables list_name and to_addr with your appropriate information.
